Brandicus: JDM front lip and powerfolding mirrors **pics inside**

Here are some progress pictures of some jdm parts Brandon had sent to me. A jdm front lip and jdm power folding mirrors. 
 
Front lip was all trashed and fully repaired. Mirrors had minor scratches with some chunks tooken out on the edge. Everything was all repaired back to oem condition. 
 
Here are some pictures of the mirrors. Noticed how I completely disassembled the mirrors for a cleaner paint job. Most people would just not even try to take out the glass so instead they tape up the glass and paint around everything. My way is way better just time consuming (every crack and groove is painted. Pics of the install should be up by next week. 
 
Thanks Brandon for the work!! :biggthumpup:

looks amazing andy, it's rare to find someone with so much attention to detail. I can't wait to see these parts in person!

Cute stuff!

Brandon, send me some installed pictures.

Can you post a DIY for the mirror install?

Guys,
 
I will be posting install pics this Saturday when Brandon comes to my shop to get everything put in.
 
Car_lost,
 
Install procedure for the mirror are pretty simple. Just pop out the mirror cover from the inside and then unscrew three 10mm? bolts from the inside and unclip the harness. Very straight forward.

I think they mean wiring procedure Andy.

Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry.

Also if its just the mirrors and the switch or if there are other parts.

I'll let brandicus chime in on this because he has some extra parts that will come in for the installation.

there is a replacement power mirror control panel with the extra button, other than that all you need is the mirrors.

pix branders!

Are you sure? I've seen other installs in the past that required a relay and some other wiring.

Here is an ebay ad (although for a different car) that shows all the wiring and everything required: [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-Accord-Power-Folding-Mirrors-Mirror-Switch-Relay_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a570Q7c39Q3a1Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem270295032420QQitemZ270295032420[/url]

They even have a video of it working.

If you have experience with this then sorry for doubting you. Just trying to help out.

Yea Ive seen a couple auctions that include a relay but i think if you just wire it up to the ignition you shouldn't need it.  I guess well find out on Saturday! =)   If you want the wiring diagram I would be happy to pass it along to you.


car lost do you have a first gen? looks like youve been on the boards forever but ive never seen your ride bro! what gives?

Haha yea... I've been around a long long time.

I have an '06 IS350. I just really really like VIP cars and all that so I participate every once in a while but mostly just keep up to date with pretty much everyone's build lol.

What I really want is a 4-door pick-up truck although I've come close to getting a '98-'00 LS400, I just haven't been able to pull the trigger. Maybe some day, for now I'll just enjoy looking at everyone else's ride.

All that switch does is send a signal to fold the mirrors....we'll find out tomorrow!

THAT STUFF IS GONNA LOOK AWESOME

nice, i might come with caoboy to see the install.

Don't you have stuff to do?

very nice brand, ill b watching this thread seeing how u the mirrors were wired.

didnt have time to figure out the mirrors today, definitely not plug and play lol

andy and steve you are both badasses.

Nice, and no by brother isn't a badass.

hahaha get yo car already!

Make sure you clean up your wiring though with the HID's. Shitty wiring gets caught and gets melted and shitty like. 

Either get some loom and cover them, or just re-route it under your radiator support with some zip ties or something. 

Take more than 5 minutes on them like we did LOL. 

Those mirrors are gay. I have an idea on what to do...but I'm sure there is a more simple way other than just re-running new wires. Driver side won't be bad, but passenger is annoying due to length. 

Simplest way will still be to find out what each prong does on the mirror plug, then swap the wires on the door side to match that, using a USDM mirror plug diagram, to locate what each wire function is. 

You could always locate the ground on the mirror, and start plugging in each prong until it works properly lol, but that will be a waste of time and not get anything done. 

On the folding switch...process of elimination with wiring the mirror switch. Whatever is left over you can figure out how to make it work. It's gotta be a signal and a 12v constant, then just figure out how to wire it all together to work. 

That diagram you had was kind of off....it kept talking about a red white (iirc) which was not on your harness...bleh..wheels be turnin' but no solution is coming. I think I deciphered the diagram and started tying off each set of wires for what does what. Maybe your Pops' can further you along. Good luck, may the force be with you.
